Notes

2008-12-23 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Möller originally proposed the organ on May 21, 1964. It was later revised on June 16, 1966 before the church signed the contract. The Great 8' Trompete Real has brass+copper resonators. I had access to the Möller proposal and examined the extant organ June 30, 1993. -Database Manager

2009-07-18 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2013-07-31 - Updated through online information from Joe O'Donnell. -- I saw the organ in early 2009. The switching has been revised to provide a 32' resultant in place of the Pedal 4' Quintade and to allow the Trompeta Real to play on the Swell (using the prepared Tierce drawknob). -Database Manager

2017-11-24 - Updated by Roger Meers, who has heard or played the organ.<br> I saw the organ 11/21/2017. The switching has again been revised. The original prepared Swell Tierce drawknob is now Pedal 16- Trumpet on Swell. The original Positiv 4' drawknob is now Great 8- Trompeta on Swell. The change of Pedal 4- Quintade to 32- Resultant remains. -Database Manager

2023-03-14 - Once having 1,600 members at its peak, Sunday attendance dwindled down to 20; the congregation voted to close, with the last service to be held April 23, 2023. -Jeff Scofield
